My Vote

There's pretty much only one way Obama can lose my vote: cater to the far anti-war left on Iraq.

If progress continues - or even just continues at the current pace - with sectarian violence down, the Iraqi government improving, and fewer US casualties, I'd like see Obama come out and discuss how to capitalize on these gains and get out vs. going on with his "Iraq was a mistake" narrative.

If he is as good as a politician as I suspect, he'll figure out somehow to take advantage. If not, well, McCain's a warrior and we're still in a fight.
